Right click is not performed on Chrome v75. Instead a left click action is performed.

Bug report

I have some tests trying to simulate a right click as follows:

  browser.actions().mouseMove($('#id')).perform();
  browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform();

It worked fine on following configuration:

Chrome V74 ChromeDriver V74 selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar “@types/node”: “^12.0.10”, “jasmine”: “^3.4.0”, “protractor”: “^5.4.2”, “typescript”: “^3.5.2”, “webdriver-manager”: “^12.1.5”

After updating Chrome and ChromeDriver to V75 right click is no longer performed. A left click is performed instead.

I found following workaround: If I set ‘directConnect’ property to true the right click is performed. Using directConnect is not an option since we also want to run tests on IE.

• Node Version: 12.0.10
• Protractor Version: 5.4.2
• Browser(s): Chrome 75
• Operating System and Version Windows 10
• Protractor configuration file

exports.config = {
    // launch locally when fields directConnect and seleniumAddress are not provided
    //directConnect: true,
    chromeDriver: 'C:\\source\\protractorProj\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe',
    seleniumServerJar: 'C:\\source\\protractorProj\\drivers\\selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar',
    specs: ['C:\\source\\protractorProj\\specs\\tests.js'],
    capabilities: {
      browserName: 'chrome'
    }
  }

• A relevant example test

   import {browser, $, protractor} from 'protractor'

  describe('Protractor Typescript Demo', function() {
	it('title verifications', function() {
	  browser.get('https://talis.github.io/ng-context-menu/#/');
	  browser.sleep(3000);browser.actions().mouseMove($('#panel-0 .panel-body')).perform();
          browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform();
          browser.sleep(5000);

          browser.actions().mouseMove($('a')).perform();
          browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform();
          browser.sleep(2000);
	});
});

I run the test with following command: “protractor conf.js”

Request

I would expect that the right click is performed as in previous versions.

I also did a test in Java using Selenium and the right click was done correctly both on Chrome 74 and 75 by using these lines of code WebElement elementLocator = driver.findElement(By.id(“ID”)); actions.contextClick(elementLocator).perform();

So I suppose there is something related to the way protractor sends the right click event and the way chromedriver handles it

I have the same issue. It’s weird but “directConnect: true,” fix this issue. Never the less this is not acceptable for me ((

Hi @alexcergau, @raketenolli

enabling the below capability enables chrome 74+ to use legacy API. Please try it works.

‘goog:chromeOptions’: { w3c: false }

Thanks !
